Hopeless yes. Unreasonable, no.
President Jair Bolsonaro brought together ambassadors from dozens of countries to criticize the Brazilian electoral system in what has been described as “shameful”, “pathetic” and “ridiculous”.
For politicians and analysts, the former captain’s performance had a clear purpose (to imitate his former American colleague Donald Trump, who tried to discredit the result and mow the storm of occupation by sowing doubts about the fairness of the election he lost to the Capitol) and an inevitable outcome (Brazil’s once creating another diplomatic nuisance on a more global scale).
There is another way of looking at Bolsonaro’s meeting with the ambassadors.
In it, the president wasn’t content to attack the efficiency of electronic voting machines – he personally and heavily shot three ministers of the Supreme Court.
“It was Minister Fachin who made Lula eligible and is now head of TSE,” said Edson Fachin, who was responsible for the decision to quash the convictions of the former PT chief in Lava Jato.
“Minister Alexandre de Moraes has advocated for groups where I would not be a lawyer if I were a lawyer,” he said, in an attempt to shed light on the false accusation that Moraes was defending a criminal faction in São Paulo.
“Minister [Luís Roberto] Barroso was the lawyer of the terrorist Battisti and was welcomed here by President Lula in December 2010.” And he repeated so that there was no doubt as to what he meant by that statement: “Thanks to this (thanks to Cesare Battisti), definitely Barroso’s Labor Party. earned his trust and was later nominated for a vacancy in the STF”.
What Jair Bolsonaro tried to do by calling the ministers to war was to wall off the Judicial System, which either now sets sanctions against the president and thus escalates an already mountainous crisis, or swallows his curses that have been published and published since yesterday. worldwide.
For a candidate who is in danger of becoming Brazil’s first president not to be re-elected (despite the Faust pact with the center and the money spilled in the PEC, which has been called the “Election Emergency”), a court decision threatening to block his candidacy, currently, is the last and represents a hopeless exit.
Bolsonaro wants the judiciary to play its own game. And the more the fire burns in the former captain’s camp, the better.
